To the pure all things are pure. — Titus 1:15

What’s hallowed ground? ’Tis what gives birth
To sacred thoughts in souls of worth
Peace! Independence! Truth! go forth
Earth’s compass round;
And your high-priesthood shall make earth
All hallowed ground.
— Thomas Campbell.

Remember the week day to keep it holy.
— Elbert Hubbard.

The meaning of life comes to us mostly in great revealing flashes and intense emotions.
— Dean Farrar.

Prayer

Gracious Father, may I not feel that it is necessary to wait for certain days and ceremonies to prepare to worship thee, while at every moment thy love is pleading for me. May I through the busiest hours and the most perplexing moments serve thee in reverence and obedience, and ever give praise to thy holy name. Amen.
